inundated with information on

the legendary Chris Cater gives you

FEATURE:
2015 BMW GS SAFARI

T

he BMW GS Safari has

evolved into an event that

is enjoyed by hundreds of

riders every year. Having

ridden the Safari in the

past, when the opportunity arose to

join in on the fi rst two days of the 2015

edition I jumped at the chance. There

is an atmosphere on the GS Safari

that you just can’t replicate when

you go for a weekend ride with your

mates. Two hundred riders, all on

similar machines, and there’s nothing

to do other than enjoy the hell out of

riding. Combine that with the fact you

are well supported and have great

routes mapped out for you daily and

I challenge you to participate and not

return the following year.

The ride kicked off at Jenolan Caves

in New South Wales, an iconic tourist

attraction only a few hours west of

Sydney up in the Blue Mountains. It’s

an ideal setting to get you in the mood

for adventure. Twisty, mountainous

roads leading into the caves are fun

on a bike and then you enter through

a huge cave and pop out at the Alpine-

style accommodation.
